Sugar-Free Flourless Cookies with Almond Flour and Flaxseed

These Sugar-Free Flourless Cookies with Almond Flour and Flaxseed might remind you of Snickerdoodles, and we loved this new version. Use Dessert Recipes to find more sugar-free and low-sugar cookie ideas!

It’s been quite a month for cookies so far, and I don’t think I’ll manage to get any more cookie recipes tested before Christmas. But even though it’s not really a Christmas cookie, I want to share these updated Sugar-Free Flourless Cookies with Almond Flour and Flaxseed that Kara and I worked on to get a more flavorful sugar-free cookie. This one took us a few tries to get a version we really liked, and the final cookie reminded us a bit of Snickerdoodles, with slightly more complex flavors from the almond flour and the flaxseed meal.

Then add the Flaxseed Meal (affiliate link) and Almond Flour (affiliate link) and beat until the mixture comes together. (It will be crumbly at first; continue mixing until it forms a stiff dough.)

Then mix the 3 T Monkfruit sweetener with the ground cinnamon and pour that mixture out on a plate.

Use a measuring spoon to scoop out slightly heaping tablespoons of dough, roll each one in the Monkfruit/Cinnamon mixture, and place in rows on the parchment paper. Use a fork to smash the cookies down about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake about 30 minutes, or until cookies are barely starting to brown and feel barely firm.

Let the cookies cool for about 20 minutes on the baking sheet; they will get more firm as they cool.

These cookies freeze well; I've been grabbing one out of the freezer in the mornings to eat with my coffee!

Notes

I originally made this with a blend of Granulated Stevia Sweetener and Golden Monkfruit Sweetener (affiliate link), but now I would prefer to use only Monkfruit Sweetener. Sweetener is calculated as zero net carbs for nutritional information.

This recipe originally adapted from a cookie recipe found online on a site that no longer exists; this version was adapted by Kalyn and Kara for a sugar-free cookie with better flavor.

Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This recipe should work for low-carb and Keto diets, and some low-glycemic diet plans. The South Beach Diet doesn’t recommend butter, and if you made this with an approved margarine the cookies would still be phase 2 or 3 for South Beach due to the almond flour.
